JetBrains IDEs ease debugging for Kubernetes apps

JetBrains IDEs, with new 2024.3 edition releases, now provide a logical code structure view alongside the familiar physical code structure view in the Structure tool window. The updated IDEs also streamline debugging for Kubernetes applications and provide cluster-wide Kubernetes log access with streaming and pattern matching.

JetBrains announced the 2024.3 releases on November  12. The updated versions of the IDEs will be available soon through JetBrains’ website and Toolbox App, the company said.

The JetBrains IDEs covered by the release include IntelliJ IDEA ( Java and Kotlin), PyCharm (Python), WebStorm (JavaScript and TypeScript), GoLand (Go), and RubyMine (Ruby). Also released was JetBrains AI Assistant 2024.3, which now allows users to choose between between Google Gemini, OpenAI, or local large language models for code chat. This update also brings advanced code completion for all major programming languages, JetBrains said.

Specific JetBrains 2024.3 updates include the following:

• IntelliJ IDEA lets developers work more efficiently with updates, offering capabilities such as better handling of aliases in the data flow engine for Java and Kotlin. Also featured is a code formatter to preserve blank lines for clearer code.
• JetBrains AI Assistant adds Google Gemini models including Gemini 1.5 Pro 002 and Flash 002 to the model lineup. Developers can choose between Gemini, OpenAI, or local models to tailor their AI chat experience.
• PyCharm brings AI to the editor. Users can type a natural language request in a new line in the editor and the IDE will respond with a suggestion. Code assistance is provided for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and YAML.
• WebStorm offers an enhanced framework component navigation and renaming, database tools, SQL support, and improved AI-driven code completion.
• GoLand has a set of features and inspections to streamline developer workflow. AI users can benefit from refined multi-line completion and inline prompts. The latest Go language features are supported.
• CLion, for C and C++, offers new capabilities for embedded development, such as debug servers and support for native ZephyrWest debugging, and an ability to attach the debugger to an unstarted process.
• Rider, for .NET and games development, brings support for the .NET 9 SDK including the latest C# 13 features.
• PhpStorm, for PHP, has new inspections and quick fixes to help developers upgrade to PHP 8.4. Parallel and mutation testing in the Pest testing framework is supported.
